That’s AmoreThe secret of a verace pizza napoletana artigianale – a genuine Neapolitan style pizza – lies in its ingredients: First there is the dough. It must be thin, handled with care and given plenty of time to rest, to then be baked to absolute perfection at the highest possible temperature in the shortest possible time. Secondly: a few, yet excellent and perfectly matched toppings. Creating pizza is like mixing cocktails – harmony and balance are the key. Third: the oven. An authentic wood fired oven is essential. And last but not least: L.O.V.E. Florian Schramm is definitely in on the secret. His pizza joint STANDARD in Prenzlauer Berg has set a new standard in Berlin for the forbidden food of the gods. Authentic quality, good ingredients mixed with regional specialities, a dash of charm and a pinch of flaming Napoli – the pizzaiolo is from Naples and learned his craft at the Associazione Verace Pizza napoletana, the world’s leading pizza academy. Each creation is spectacular, aromatic, crispy, baked for a mere 60 seconds at 500 degrees and covered with delicious sun-ripened and hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di Latte or wild boar salsiccia. People, this is seriously good pizza. And that is why we’re coming here for the next muxmäuschenwild FAMILY STYLE event. We want to eat and drink our way through the menu with you, have a good time and enjoy the Italian way of life. Book your place at our table —25 bucks and you’re good to go. Send an email to familystyle@muxmaeuschenwild.de. Buon appetito! ____ Standard Serious Pizza | Templiner Straße 7, 10119 Berlin | Tue-Fri 5-12pm, Sat-Sun 1-12pm | standard-berlin.de |
Fo‘ schnizzle!Schnitzel is the new burger. Say whaaat?! Yup. After trying out the Schnitzelbude in Mitte, there is really no other way to put it. That Schnitzel was pretty damn good. David Wiedemann, born and raised in Berlin, has already proven more than once that he has a knack for trendy gastronomy concepts: Reingold, Barroom and the deli Stulle mit Brot are all his creations. His latest coup is the wood panelled joint on Oranienburger Str. serving an outstanding Viennese Schnitzel. The menu also features a turkey schnitzel, a kids and veggie version (oyster mushrooms with mountain cheese – amen!), yummy sides and a good selection of beers and softdrinks – the credo here being quality rather than quantity. The Schnitzelbude is opened Tuesday–Sunday from 6.pm till 3am and, believe it or not, it has come to stay! Nuff said. So, if you’re already licking your lips, send an email titled „BRRREADCRRRUMBS“ to hurra@muxmaeuschenwild.de – we’re giving away a meal for two. Dig in!

Arne & ClaudiaThe 2 Minute InterviewTogether with her partner Arne, Claudia Hirschberger runs the food and photography blog Food with a View. Last year, they even won two awards because they are so good at it. Arne is a vegan and Claudia is a vegetarian (a mixed double so to speak). That makes cooking pretty easy, but can be a bit challenging when baking. Photographs and food. AND photographs of food. We like! By the way: recently the two popped over to Thomas at Leogant. Rumor has it, they’re planning something to do with water and recipes… We’ll keep you posted! Here’s what else we found out about them.

What was the last thing you ate? A: Homemade Bircher muesli with vanilla and fresh berries for breakfast. C: Muesli. We hardly ever eat it, but today we felt like it. Usually I have a green smoothie first thing in the morning. That really wakes me up.

Something phishyThis place in Karolinenviertel is posh, very posh. Food is served on Thursdays only and one dish only. But this is then prepared by none other than the people behind „Salt & Silver“, a cookbook combining breath-taking travel reports and mouth-watering recipes collected during a trip through South and Latin America. And at Kleines Phi is where the story continues, where real people are doing real things and putting their heart and soul into it. You can feel it and you can taste it. Be it at the Thursday nosh-ups or in form of delicious South American cocktail classics. We really had a great time and enjoyed our exchange of expertise with the lovely barman. Our new mantra: Thank God it’s Thursday!

Good things come to those who eatLet’s face it folks, the gastronomic delights around the Simon-Dach-Straße and Sonntagstraße are rather scarce – the Schwarze Hahn, good old Schneeweiß and vegan deli Laauma being superb exceptions, of course. But mostly it’s a blur of Berlin „fusion food” along the lines of simple burger and pizza joints and Happy-Hour-Texmex-Thai restaurants with ever changing management. We were in the area the other day – we were starving and made a great discovery. About a year ago, a new restaurant opened right next to the Ostkreuz train station, across from Hähnchen Hütte and the 1stFloor hostel. With its wooden panelling, handwritten menu boards and earthy Scandinavian chic it was nothing like any of the other places close-by. When we entered Milja & Schäfa, we had absolutely no expectations – a perfect start to the culinary surprise of the week. We took our time reading the menu over and over because everything just sounded so delicious and rather special. We went for beetroot, parsnip and sweet potato wedges with a lime-basil-garlic dip, a beetroot Carpaccio with smoked salmon and five different dips with lovely fresh bread – each one better than the next. All dishes were perfectly balanced, boldly flavoured and anything but random. Our current breakfast favourite is the avocado sandwich with tomato, lemon-basil-aioli, pine nuts and a fried egg. Pictured here to your right. There’s no doubt about it: Milja & Schäfa know what they’re doing. A relaxed, down to earth atmosphere and signature food – that’s just how we like it. Oh, and everybody is really nice! We’ll be back again soon. Milja & Schäfa, Café und Soul Food Restaurant | Sonntagstr. 1, 10245 Berlin | Facebook |
